Iodine loading test results

November 11, 2006

I wonder if I even need to take 50 mg a day to reach full saturation,

since I wasn't that far off in teh first place.

Congrats on bringing your numbers up, Steph. I'm glad you're doing so

much better.

> Not too bad! You are only 13 pts under full saturation. It took me

4 1/2 mos of 50 mgs per day to get to 66% from zero. From what I

have read you can reach saturation in 3 months on 50 mgs and then

maintain with 12.5-25 mgs per day depending on your body.

Hi,

I am new to this group though have been reading for awhile. I just

recieved the results of my loading test. I had breast cancer in 2004. I

had a lumpectomy and sentinal node biopsy, chemotherapy and radiation

of my right breast. Currently I take levoxyl thyroid 75mlg daily and

10mlg of paxil. I also take a variety of supplements and a chinese

herbal tea. I would like some feedback on my levels and or any

recommendations as I will have a conversation with Dr. Flechas as soon

as I am able to schedule an appointment. The 24 hr urine test showed:

II Loading @ 32L >44 and II Saturation @ 64L >90. Any feedback would be

much appreciated.

Thank you,
